FR ENci-I,.l ) A,Prtit S. (E x trset9 from the Etoite of l'!iesday.) PARIS, SEPT. :26.----WC hatiteti to by before ourreauers our private letters from C;onstantinople, which come doWn to the 31st of August, the (lay of the conflagration. There had been read in all the mosques lirmans, 'exhort ing every' Mussulman to offer up the prayers prescribed by the law, not in private, 'except on account of legitimate pediments, hut in public, in consecrated places, and at the same time with the chiefs or superiors to whom they were attached. For some days, sergeants (tehanuni) traversed the streets and the markets to press all the young Turks who were thought able to bear arms. This rigorous measure does not prevent them, however, from - , ending to their homes those individuals who, after examination, refuse to enter into the new troops, and support their refusal on plausible grounds. The foot and the horse artillery some times exercise themselves in the area of the barracks of the Great . Cemetery. The Sultan has received, with great satisfaction, a translation of the rules of the French Infantry service, to which had been joined eemal designs, representing the new soldiers in all the positions of manual exercise. It is one of the sons tit the last Dragoman of the Porte, the late Yellin Elr'endi, who has executed this work with great rapidity, and to whom the Grand Seignor has given orders fork translation of all the French works relative to the dif.erent branches of military servico—ea valry, artillery-, the service of fortresses &c. The Impe rial library of the eng in e ers possessed already the greatest part of these nooks of regulations, which it owed to the muniticenile of the Sultan, &dim HI. ` It ' t ppears that executions continue in silence, and that dlnfong the last night mahunnes (passage-boats) traverse the port, and throw into the Bea every night dead bodies, which are carried by the current away from the shore bor dering on the capital. 'The Grand Seignor expects the arrival of 400 picked men from Egypt, to, discipline the new soldiers in an uni ' form manner. The Esganies, or pay-billets, of which the Porte gua rantees the discharge, are severely examined. This severity Of the Seraskier, Honssein Paella, alarms the greater number of the Janissaries, who dare not Make their appearance 'before such a judge. The ridgals, and several men in place, among others, the waiwode of Ga- late, have 'renounced the pay-billets which they enjoyed, and have made a present of the amount to his Highness. As the Eisaint4 of•the officers of the interior the Se raglio have been paid entire, the people murmur at the circumstance, and there is a talk of a petition from those interested, to demand the cessation of that abuse,' and to 1 remonstrate against' the shutting of the coffee-housed,l which.haareduced so many persons to wretchedness. ' There ate, Only, as yet, 13,000 men formed into regi ments. :No individual is admitted who has passed 25 or 30 years of age. There were 2,100 on the two shores of the Bosphonts, ,s,oop.destined to the interior guard of the capital, and the rest are in the camp of Eski-Semi.— The manufactory of muskets is going on with activity: A corps of 1,500 Bostandijs, chosen front among the unmarried men of this corps, will be set‘apart for the guard of the Imperial palace at Constantinople. They will be exercised with care, and will form a guard of honour when his Highnesi proceeds to the Mosque or to the places of his promenades. The pages will likewise re-assume' their ancient habits. Heir follow the lists of the more recent promotions in the Pachaliki. Aniong those who have been invested with additional commands, occur the names of :Hussein.; Pasha,, Arab Mehemmed-Pacha, and Youssouf-P ac h a , the defender of Num. ' The &mans issued in virtue of a kbatticherif, and rela, tive to confiscations, manifest the intention of the Sove reign respecting this, shameful part of the ancient revenues of the state; but the example of the' Jewish banker Chabtchi is not calculated to reassure the public mini against an avidity deeply rooted, and 'difficult to be tle= stroycd. It. is remarked, in this respect, that the Grand Seignor has not yet dIL rawn piastre front his treasures, and - that, on the contrary, he is still hoarding. He has reserved for himself all the pillage of the Jewish banker, which eon, aiste4, in part, of 'l6O shawls of great value, and of 137,;30 purses, (68,675,000 piastres, or about 32,000,000 of francs), more than a half of which was in . gold, ready money ; and diamonds, and the rest in bills on the Paths and other personage*. He possessed, besides, great estates, which are said still to be in the name of his widow. Chaht chi had 2,000 purses placed in his hands; at interest, by the Seraskier, who was so lucky au . to have recovered his ino: 7 nay before the Grand Seignor laid ,hold on, this rich sue cession. • 6 They estimate at 20,000,000 of pitistres the riches col.l leeted in the barracks of the ittiliaries without including tho estates which belonged to them ; waroltfovrtheit mosque,. and all the egamac saved from • the conflagration,. Which form considerable sums. It is, however, by the produce of the capitation tax of the Hayes that they dis , charge the enarnev under the surveillance of the Seraskier, There is about tobecireulatediUthe provinces a finnan to regulate, on a new basis, the hernia of . the state, divers branches of administration, and the - emoluinents of the Naas. Their saltny, on active service, will amount to 650 p_urses, and on half-pay,lo 20,000 piastres. I They still speak of the 'approaching removal of the Sandjak Clicrifr ; but we are assured, that the Grand Vii tier r 5 opiiosed to die Measure, on account of the number of malcontents which !Abound at Constantinople, especially at Galata and the quarters next the Arsenal, notwithstand» ing executions and banishments. His Highness loads with kindness Ahmed-agot, the chief of. the Tchanuelis' of the Admiralty, who rendered him such signal services in the night of the t , l , th of'.tune; and who, since then, htis raised, at his own expellee, a company of 100 men, w h om the Government has now ordered to be clothed at the ex pence of the State. - ' It is said at Constantinople, that the Capitan Pasha had already sailed from Mitylette, proceeding a second time for Samos. ' " ' SEPT. 1.--Yesterday morning a terrible fire broke out at Constantinople, shortly, after the sacred standard had been removed into the Khasni,:, or Imperial Treasury,—; The fire began with violence, and spread with frightful Vapidity. , • At five o'clock in the afternoon all was still at Con.; atantloople beyond the varying limits of the conflagration, in spite of the re p ort w hi c h was sprea d t h at i t ,W aa the, work of incendiaries. All the troopS are now out—the guards at the station s are reinforeedthe Seraskier ;bows great activity; but nothing can be done against the lire, as Water, is wanting to extinguish it. The wind front the north-oast blew with violeffize, and m kea d y i t is perceived that the fire cannot hit stcoppo till it has no more houses, before it to consume. The palace of the Wand Vizier had become a prey to the flames at, tic moment of the depar ture of the courier. ' Nothing is more ~ ..ettiterit in this • • 14 country than fire, and in general, little uemiint is tlikeri oflifthcrich. }►ut three are circumstances conne c t ed with this te w duced a great effect upon the minas of the People. it pretended at Constantinople that astrologers hint annot w i n it e . .. ed the occurrence of a great lire as the Precursor of a re action in the. city, as soon us the-sacred standard should . be removed.' The following is the'account of the fire from the d ugs _ burgh, Gazettc, dated Constantinople, Sept. 3 Public' tranquillity appearing re-establiAied in, the Capi tal, the' Sultan believed that he had sufficiently advance& his Out of reform to allow him to restore the standard of the Prophet to the Grand Mosque. Preparations for this ceremony bad been made in such a way that nothing re- Maine& to be done but to open the gates of the Seraglio, when, at the same instant, broke out one of the most fright ful tires which have ever desolated the capital. It showe d itself first in the house of a baker, and spread With such raPirlitY , that et 'Pera it was believed the fire had begun in a hundred different,places at once. 'Terror and cortsternatien have reigned since that mo ment, and the Sultan finds himself in a very critical poi tion. Waves of name, notwithstanding Amours, directed by the Sultan in person, pass unceasingly over the Seraglio, the, gates of which are open to all the great fugitives who had favoured his reforms. They estimate, by approxima tion, and by a comparison with the quarter of Pent, the number of houses burnt at several thousands. Although the lire hasbeen subdued in some quarters, it has been re kindled in others, because the irritated people lend, against their will, that assistance which ought to be given with, energy. They look upon the fire as a punishment from Heaven. We are assured that many persons have already perished? (From the Journal des Davis.) PETtitSBUREti, SEPT. 7.—The Adjutant-General Count Romarowsky, has brought the news of his Imperial Ma jerdes Coronation.

In charging you to communicate this to all within your Go vernment of.

The Journal de PeierBburg contains, under the date of Moscow, September I, the following news the 26th of August our Capital had the happiness to re ceive within its walls his Imperial Highness the Cesaro witsch and Grand Duke Constantine. The august tra veller, 'whose presence was wanted to gratify the ten derness of the Imperial Family and our wishes, was not expected; se 'that the desired meeting must carry with it into the Imperial Family all the charms of an agreeable surprise. The Emperor and Grand Duke saw one another for .the first time since the events have taken place which have drawn upon them the admiration of the whole world. It is also for the first time since that memorable period, that an august Mother found herself pressed in the arms of two sons so worthy of her, and whom God, in his in finite mercy, has granted her as a counterbalance to the losses 'she has experumeed in line, the inhabitanti of our town have felt and participated the joy of the 6'rand Duke Michael, at the arrival of a brother`whose heart seems to belong to him, even had .not : their mutual affection strengthened the bonds of nature. PARIS, 2.5.--.-The Regent of Portugal has just decreed, that two new corps Shall be raised, to be named the Ist and 2d Foreign Regiments.

EAST INDIES. DEMI-OPPICIAL. Letters from Ratnrec of the 28th March, report the arrival at Aeng, of the 18th regiment of Madra• Native Infantry, with 60 pioneers and 36 elephants. Lieutenant Trant, of the Quarter. Master-General's Department, who had accompanied the division, was at Ramree. The detachment left Yan-da•bo on the 6th of March, and reached Aeng on the 26th: there were but three men sick with the detachment; and but . four or five hullocka knocked up ; the rest were all in good order. The road is reported to have proved perfectly good throughout. which has often been the cause of considerable loss'to ue whilst advancing to the attack. Every individual engaged conducted himself so perfectly to my satisfaction, that I will not particularixe any; a copy of the order which I issued upon the occasion, and which I beg leave to inclose, will best explain to his Lordship my feelings towards the gallant troops I have the honour to command. I cannot close this despatch without communicating to his Lordship the gratifying intelligence, that the operations of this force, by land and water, since the fall of Melton, have released from the tyranny of the enemy from 25,000 to 30,000 inhabi tants of the lower provinces, who had been detained and driven be fore his retiring boats and army, many of them since the com mencement of the war ; front 3,000 to 4,000 family boats have passed Pagahm downwards, since its occupation by,us.

Providence has once more blessed with success the British arms in this country; and in the decisiii defeat of the imposing force posted under and within the walls of Pagshm-Mew, the Major- General recognizes a fresh display of the military virtues which have characterised his troops from the commencement of the war. Early on this day, the enemy departing from the cautious, sys tem of defence behind field-woi ks and entrenchments, which forms their usual'device of war, and relying on their great numerical su periority and singular advantages of ground, ventured on a suc cession of bo`..d minuntivres on the flanks and front cif the British columns. This false confidence has been rebuked by a reverse, severe, signal, and disastrans. Their troops, of either arm, were repelled at every point, and their masses driven in confusion within their City. The storm of Pagahm-Mew which followed, exhibited the same feateres of intrepidity and self-devotion. The fregnency of these ado of spirited • soldiership on the part of his troops, renders it difficult for the Major-General to vary the terms of his praise ; bµt he Offers' to every officer and soldier engaged this day, the tribute of his thinks at 'once, with the affec tion of a Commander, and the cordiality of a comrade. a a (Signed) E S.

AUG. 28.—IntimatiTs have been thrown out in one of the New Orleans papers, that those parts of our country bordering on the Mexican province, are in danger of a combined invasion from the Indians, and therefore, that the state of the frontiers in that quarter ought to receive the immediate attention of the Executive. The Louisiana Messenger considers these fears as groundless, and in reference to the excitement, mentions the foll ow i ng i n t o . resting particulars The Indians who trouble the Mexican provinces are the Ca wenches. They are the most powerful and warlike tribe of In diana in America. Were they' organized, and brought together, they can bring into the field 15,000 fighting men, as has been ascertained by the Mexican Government. They inhabit a country which comtnences not far west of this, whichextends to the sources of the Red Rive r , 'ln 'the Rocky Mountains; and even beyond that to the %Stern Ocean. They are well armed for savages—most of the warriors having arm, a spear, WI an 'arrow.' They are tall,robust, and muscular —som e o f them measuring six feet six inches in height, but the more common Size, is near six feet ; they are said to be the largest race of men in North America. There is no instance, we believe, where they have ever united their forces to any great ext ent , f ur purposes o f mischief. They wander, most of them, thr oug h a trackless an d d reary w ild erness , f rom year to year, with ou t any fixed place of residence. It is impossible to conciliate them, which is owing principally to their unsettled state—they are scarcely ever, your neighbours for two weeks at a time. We believe -doe :their separation into many parties has given rise to other names for some of them—but we understand that most of the Indians between this and the ocean are of that tribe. We submit the brief Outline of the tribe, from the autho rity of a gentleman, who left that country not many days since; but it is not in our payeer to give the geographical position of those countries, west and Muth-west of us ; nor is there any thing said of them on the map o f t h e United States, by which the reader can tell how the country li es .

The French Papers of Tuesday, and the Dade of Wednesday, reached us last night. The reports con tained in the previous day's Etoile, of an alarming fire having broken out at Constantinople, are confirmed : no sooner was, the standard of the Prophet removed into the Imperial Treasury, on the 31st August, than a fire as tremendous in its effects, as alarming to the new order of things in its probable cause, broke forth, and a conflagration ensued, which had laid thousands of houses in ashes, and threatened nearly the total destruction of the whole of Constantinople, at the date of the last account on the. 3d instant. This frightful fire is said to have ammenced at the house of a baker, and to have spread with such rapidity, as to have had the appearance of having commenced in a hundred different places at once ; while other and more probable reports are mentioned, of its having been the work of incendiaries, and to have arisen from the deep-rooted hatred of the inhabitants to the re forms in progress, which had been alone restrained by the display of the Sacred Standard. The conflagra tion was permitted to extend itself by the want of energy of some of the inhabitants to extinguish the fire, and it is even hinted that others rekindled it when it had expired. In the midst of this fresh cala mity, which has spread desolation through his capital, the SULTAN seems to have acted with the same un daunted courage and personal energy, which have distinguished his whole conduct throughout the ~ me morable events of this important crisis in his Empire. His situation is, however, most critical, and, as the fate of the Reforms which have been commenced de pends entirely on his personal safety, we cannot help tearing, after this manifestation of the ,public feeling, I that the c h ances are muc h against his life being pre served to accomplish the great t contemplated for the regenain objectsor his wEmpire.hich he ha f he should f a ll, the desolation occasioned by the fire will be exceeded in its hor rors b y t he destruction of ero d life which will ensue from the commotion which in evitablytal of the Ottoman capital Papers will be f oun d i n another Ern scene in the ill-f a t e d uxtra willo from : e tpi t ii l er l es e .e columno giving all these d etails.

The great importance attached to the personal appearance of CONSTANTINZ at this ceremony, and the terms in which the termination_ of it is announced, lead us strongly' .to the conchision that :NICHOLAS does not find himself quite easy on his Throne, though the Crown of his ancestors has been placed on his head with the sacred rites of his religion. ?RE :est rmens, CET - r. 27.

The following 'copy. of a despatch from Major - General Sir Ar chibald Campbell, K.C.R. , is published for general information : TO GXOll.Ot SWINTON, SS CI, SIreitETARY TO GOVER/CIuNT, rare Awn romtem. DEPARTMUNT, roity hie -.Dry last communication made you acquainted with my belief that the , enemy were concentrating upon Pagahm-Mew ; subsequent intelligence established the fact. , Part of the ingitives from Mefloon had been rallied at that point, and there reinforced by fresh levies from Ave. Thu command•uf the whole, aninurit, ing to 10,000 men, was given to Ta-Yea-Soogean Woondook Nai.Woon Ilarien,* who had pledged himself to his Sovereign to achieve some signal success at the expeuce of the British, whom, in the insolent language of his . Court and nation, he styled the Invading Army of Rebellious Strangers. • A reeonnoisance effected on the the evening of the Bth dis covered the enemy in force,. and strongly posted about five miles, in advance of the village of Yesseali, where I had that day en- camped with my leading division. The report of Burman prisoners gave us to understand that the enemy had vesolVed to defend two positions ; the first having for its appui the Logoh-Nunds Pagoda; the second, within the ; old walls of the city, which had undergone some partial repairs; and the numerous Pagodas in and about Pegaltrn ;.....,the former te be occupied hy'7,ooo, the latter by 9,000 men. At this parti4 cider crisis, I considered it of importance that • the decisions of they Court of Avis should not be left to depend upon hopes cherished' under a filer confidence in the promises of their new commander.' I thereforirtook measures for attacking the enemy on the morning. . . of the 9th, and prdered Brigadier-General Cotton, whose division was twelve miles in the rear, to march with three of his corps, at such an hour during the night as would ensurchis joining me by daylight. Thus reinfiweed, I marched at nine o'clock. Four miles front our camp, I found, for the first time since the Connneneatment of the. war, the enemy prepared to dispitte the ground with UN in the field, in front of his first position ; the; disposition ofbis troops, and his plans for receiving our attack, exhibiting marks of considerable judgment. The road from Yesseah to Pugahm leads through a country much overgrown with prickly jungle, which, whilst it renders it difficult to regular troops to diverge from its direct course, either to the right or left, is in some places so thick, as completely to mask the formations and other manueuvres of large bodies. The'' Burmese General, availing himself of these advantages, and pro bably ignorant of the reinforcement the leading division had re ceived during the night, drew' up his army in the form of a cre scent, both its flanks being considerably advanced, and the main road running directly through its centre, thinking, no doubt, that the must advance by it till opposed in front, when the wings would close in to attack' us on both flanks and in the rear, which his great superiority in numbers wOuld have enabled him to effect, had we fallen into the snare. But the advance of the British force was conducted in such a manner as soon to detect the object . of his formation, and he was instantly as3,iiled upon both flanks. His Majesty's ISth Light Infantry led the right attack (tinder my own immediate direction), accompanied by four guns of the Ben gal Horse Artillery, and a small detachment of the Body Guard, outmoded by his Majesty's 89th Regiment. ' His Majesty's 38th Regiment, that on the left, supported by his Majesty's 41st, and two guns of the Madras Artillery, under the direction of Briga dier-General Cotton ; whilst Lieutenant Colonel Pariby, with the 43d Madras Native Mimicry, advanced on the bank of the Ir rawaddy, our extreme left, to prevent the enemy throwing troops to our rear in that direetioe. They received our attack on both flanks tolerably well-formed, and with a show of resolution, but were soon obliged to give way before the rapid fire and steady charge of British soldier's. Part of their troops, broken by the SBth, retired into a well constructed field-ivork, but were so closely pursued that they had not time to forM for itirdefence; here froM three to four hundred ' of them perished, either by the bayonet, or plunging into the river to escape. The enemy, perceiving both his flanks attacked, and seeing our centre apparently without troops, pushed a column by the main road, towards an eminence in our rear, covered with . Pagoda's but wee checked, and retired on seeing the 89th in re reeve. Several times during 'the - day they attempted, with their cavalry, to turn, our. right, and vigilantly watched every oPPliOu oity which might offer to effect this purpose. They at one time .lawn in great force and good order, towards a small party of Majesty's 13th' Light Infantry. Unfortunately, my force in cavalry did not enable me to avail myself of similar opportunities; teal I had of the.

MANUFACTURES IN THE UNITED STATES. (From the New York papers received yesterday.) PonTsmouru, New Hampshire, Aug. 20.—1 n 1810 there were in New Hampshire, about 12 manufacturing establishments, with 5;956 spindles--and the whole amount of woollen, cotton, linen, and tow-cloth manufactured by them, and by faMilies throughout the State in that year, was only 4,224,135 yards. There are now in this State more than 50 cotton and woollen factories, and the amount of cloth manufactured annually cannot be far from 30,000,000 yards. Some of the towns in the vicinity of Portsmouth have within a few years been wonderfully changed from agricultural to manufacturing pursuits. The factory esta blishments of Newmarket, Dover, Somersworth, Berwick, &c. have made our neighbourhood a manufacturing district, and the future good or had effects of this pursuit must in time have agreat influence upon our prosperity.. In 1822, that part of Somersworth called Great Falls con tained but two dwelling-houses. Now the eyes of the visiter are greeted with a pleasantly situated and beautiful village of between sixty and seventy buildings, chiefly erected within the last two years, either built of brick, or painted, and many of them of the same size and appearance, and laid out with so much regu larity, that if exhibited in a picture, it would partake too much of formality to appear natural. This is exclusively a manufactur ing village—nothing is to be seen but what has some relation to the establishment. Here are four factories, one for cotton, built of wood, live stories (including basement and attic), 35 feet wide and 65 feet long, containing 1,500 spindles, and manufactures 7,000 yards, No. 20, cotton cloth weekly. One of brick, five stories, 45 by 156 feet, containing nearly 6,000 spindles, and will manufacture from 16,000 to 18,000 yards, No. 40, cloth per week. One of brick, six stories, 49 by 220 feet, exclusively for broad cloths. One recently erected of brick, six stories high, 49 by 390 feet, for cotton and woollen manufacture. This is the most extensive building devoted to the manufacturing purpose in New Hampshire, if not in New England. There is also a building of brick, four stories high, 32 by 134 feet,occupied as a dyehouse for the manufacture of carpets, &c., another house of brick, three stories, 'a by 100 feet, for drying. A building of brick, S 5 by 65 feet, for trip Inunmeri and machine shops. There is also an extensive range of workshops ;40 dwell ing-houses of wood, two stories high, 24. by 40 feet; five eiten sive boarding houses ; five brick blocks, three stories, of 30 by SO feet each ; three stores; and a great number of buildings, oc cupied by mechanics. A spacious and elegant brick hotel, three stories high, has also been erected, where the traveller meets with good accommodations. The village contains about 1,500 inhabitants--about 1,000 of whom are enrolled in the factory books. This establishment is situated on Salmon Falls river, about three miles from tide waters. The resources of the river are abundant, having extensive ponds for reservoirs. The fall, at the controul of the Great Falls Com pany, is 120 feet, and only about one sixth of the power will be used for the factories now built.
